What is the difference between a Laptop and a Notebook Computer

There is a small difference between laptops and notebooks. For the most part the difference is between manufacturers. Some call them laptops and some called them notebooks. The phrase notebook, which is really just a smaller and thinner laptop, is very appropriate for the portable, thin laptops that notebooks are.

MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LAPTOP AND NOTEBOOKS:

LAPTOPS:
Laptops are usually larger than notebooks and will have a built-in CD/DVD ROM drives or a built-in bay that will accomodate a removable CD ROM drive. The display will be about 15 inches on a laptop when measured diagonally. For certain purposes a laptop is optimal because it provides more features and capabilities than notebooks.

NOTEBOOKS:
Notebooks generally allow you to attach a CD ROM via cable. Since this drive is not built in notebooks are smaller and lighter than laptops, and are referred to as ultra portables. Notebooks are appropriately named because they are often thin and resemble a real binder notebook.

If you are wondering how the differences between laptops and notebooks may impact your purchase choices, it is better not to focus on the tag of laptop vs notebook but to look at the features of individual laptops and or notebooks and pick the portable computer that best suits your needs, whether it's gaming, business, student use, home use, surfing the net or entertainment.
